The Birth-rate of the Parish for the year 1892 would be 16.9
per 1,000 of the population.
The Births registered in London during the year 1892, numbered
131,535, being in the proportion of 30.9 annually to 1,000 of the

Deaths.
In St. Martin-in-the-Fields the total Deaths in the year 1892,
were 331. This is a less number than in the previous year, and
is due to the closing of the Charing Cross Hospital for several
weeks, for the purpose of undergoing repairs.
